I had a rough post pregnancy experience. My baby was stuck in my rib cage and they had to pull the muscles more than normal on the right side to get him out. I had puppps, then I tried working out after being cleared to do so and I literally did a back bend as if there was no muscle in my abdomen. I went in to see my doctor and I was told I had an internal infection. They never said anything about ab separation but when I look down at my stomach, there is a gap where my belly protrudes more on the left and sinks in on the right. Anyways, that was a few years ago. I've been trying again to lose weight. I've changed my eating and lost 20 pounds and I try to be as active as possible but then I kicked it up a notch while working out. I was doing sit ups with 5lb weights. I started to feel my abdominal muscle on the right side tense and then it was spasming. I tried pushing through the pain and kept going. The following morning I started having vaginal bleeding and my muscle on that side hurt from the front of my body into my back. I thought maybe this was just my cycle. Well the following weekend, after the bleeding had already stopped, I was moving furniture and didnt think anything of it. Next day, bleeding returned and the muscle was pretty sore again. Since the original incident, I've had a dull pain where the injury happened and sometimes it tenses up or feels like a Charlie horse. I cant find anything that links muscles and vaginal bleeding online. I dont think its coincidental though. Did I tear my muscle or is there more to what's going on? And when can I start working out again?
